Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission law enforcement officers have been called in to deal with problems with commercial fishing at the U.S. 92 bridge at Saddle Creek Park.

Polk County, in cooperation with FWC, set up a permit system earlier this year to allow commercial fishing in the park. Only one person has applied for and received a permit. The folks at the bridge do not have permits and appear to be violating the rules of the fish management area that encompasses the park.
